RedTeddy is the Un-Puppy-Mill!We do not work with breeders complicit in the unethical treatment of animals. ​​​RedTeddy Poodles are healthy, happy animals who live in a loving home with plenty of indoor and outdoor play areas, and who eat a wholesome diet and get plenty of play time with humans, other Poodles and larger dogs. RedTeddies are Hypoallergenic, American Kennel Club (AKC) Miniature and Toy Poodles. We are inspected annually bythe NYS Department of Agriculture.The AKC also inspects tri-annually. Both make unannounced visits. We cannot "fake it"! We are the real thing: an honest, loving​Poodle breeder of integrity!

Please do your homework - Do not purchase a puppy from a broker or breeder complicit in the unethical treatment of animals. Unhealthy practices lead to unhealthy puppies. RedTeddy produces well-adjusted animals, free of neurosis or health problems. We invite potential RedTeddy families to see what separates RedTeddy from the puppy mills and "backyard breeders."RedTeddies are home-raised in a "pack" with lots of dog and human socialization. They are not kept in cages. They can begin exploring as soon as their eyes are open! All our dogs eat a raw diet. The main ingredients are locally sourced wild venison (in season), antibiotic and hormone free chicken, turkey, and beef. We screen our sires and dams for genetic diseases and follow the Poodle Club of America guidelines on screening for Orthopedic disorders of the patellas, elbows and hips. See our test results here.We invite you to visit, meet the parents, and see where the puppies live and play.​Scientific research indicates in early life, the father's presence is just as important in creating a healthy adult animal as the mother's. Leo, our main daddy dog is here to teach his doggy wisdom to all our puppies! A stress-free pregnancy also benefits puppies with better long-term health!​Complete the application formand reserve your future RedTeddy!❤️

Consider adopting a Retiring Mommy!Spooky is a sweet, friendly, cuddly 12 lb. Mini Poodle who gets along with everyone once they gain her trust. She would love to be your only dog, but does get along with other dogs. She is quiet, not a big barker. She is house-trained and somewhat leash-trained. Spooky is ready for a forever family.

Our parent dogs and pups live in country homes with large gardens and plenty of outdoor playtime and I do mean OUTDOOR! We play in the weeds and the flower garden, eatin' the veggies a growin' in the raised beds. We are familiar with chipmunks, squirrels, and worms, just to mention a few friends we got here. Nope: We are not kept in them horrible metal fenced dog runs 'bout six foot by 6 foot, where the grass don't exist no more and there's nothing to play with 'cept your water dish (who plays with a water dish anyway?)

Billy is HappyBilly is Happy so we are happy.When we are happy, our puppies are happy.As a new RedTeddy family, you will be happy too!Just like Billy, on a beach in February.​

Billy is our number one Toy Poodle Stud. Billy's preliminary hip test came back 'Excellent' and he is not a carrier for prn/prna, an inherited blindness that effects Poodles.Why are we putting this information out there? So you know what to ask pet stores and breeders in your search. Ask them does the sire (daddy) have an OFFA rating of Excellent? Does he have one at all? We do these tests but most don't because of the expense.If they say yes, ask to see it - Will they show it to you? We will.

Our big dogs, Sparky the Golden Doodle and Sara the Lab, are dinosaurs compared to the little puppies!​They take care not to be too rough, and the pups adore them.

Here, the pups are just over two weeks old. Their little eyes are open and starting to focus. Soon, they will begin to leave the den to explore...!

We have puppies!!!!!Panda (aka Boo) had her very first litter November 2017!

Yes, they really are that cute. Or maybe cuter...

Boo is a terrific mommy.(Blaze, one of our two new RedTeddy females, is singing in the background.)<-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><->

TASHA'S CHRISTMAS PUPPIES!Born Midnight, December 25, 2014!

As of New Years Day, 2015 with our five Christmas newborns. Their eyes are closed for another week, and, though they are steadily gaining weight and moving about more and more, they really just sleep and eat at this stage. In the mean time, our new pups - the Arkansas Three of the RedTeddyhome tribe are about 14 weeks old, always on the go. Below the smaller of our two new girls plays with a bone she animates with her imagination, helped along by soccer commentary (Go Spurs!)...

Three little girls and two little boys. One of the puppies has a very short tail - not cropped, it just came that way. Could it have gotten lost stuck in Santa's sleigh?! (Maybe it's in the chimney...) Once again a rainbow of colors, dark red to blond. These pups are going to be spectacular!

Below we see Tasha and the gang enjoying morning walks, it may seem pretty boring to us but she is happy exploring, a perfect morning out in nature.

We now know part of the reasons to avoid puppy mills is because, to put it mildly, they do not guarantee a wonderful environment for the new born and young puppies. We now also know the pup's mother's environmentduring pregnancy has alasting impact on the health and emotional stability of her puppies.A happy, healthy, tranquil mother dog's offspring are less stressed, have better heart health, and make for happier, healthier adult dogs.

We use NuVet Canine Vitamins to assure that all our dogs get the best quality nutrition! Most breeders give out starter packs of Purina brand vitamins, or coupons from national chains. We felt that we wanted a product we could trust. All the ingredients are sourced in the USA from human food-grade products. After usingNuVet for a few years now, we've been very happy with the results...​ Since using NuVet, our litters have been extraordinarily healthy and the mother dogs seem to lose less weight and have more energy on these vitamins as well. We now require forever homes to commit to at least two years (the 2 years of the most important growth) on NuVet.

Ask for the powder rather than the tablets, and use about 1 teaspoon a day. In a year, you will go through about 4 containers, and with your 15% autoship discount, NuVet is competitive with national brands.NuVet vitamin code

The New Pups and the Big Game

REDTEDDY PUPPIES PLAY OUTSIDE, NOT IN A CEMENT FLOOR KENNEL, TRULY OUTSIDE IN REAL HONEST TO GOODNESS DIRT! No doubt about it: these are some of the dirtiest, muddiest, messiest puppies you could ever hope to find. And that is exactly what we want for them. Our puppies run around and play outside in a semi-confined area. We encourage them to discover insects, twigs, rocks, mud to dig in, sand to roll in and whatever else they find interesting and exciting in their new lives of wonder. It's also fun to observe: all little puppies are especially fond of leaves (who knew?!) - they are so proud when they realize a leaf is something they can pick up and take with them. They hold their heads high and prance as though it were a bison femur!

RedTeddy puppies get dirty, and that is a good thing!

We believe playing outside in dirt, not in a sheltered concrete play area but in the real outside, dirty, messy world helps build a healthy immune system. And certainly an active play-life in early puppyhood teaches our pups to be better dogs, more confident, more affectionate, more accepting of life's ups and downs (literally, watch some of the puppies playing in the videos and you will see some true tumbles!).

An adventurous, joyful youth makes for a better, healthier and happier well adjusted dog for you and your family.

Poodles are hypoallergenic and do not shed. They must be groomed regularly since their hair grows like it does on people. This is part of the reason for the development of the French Poodle cut, the fancy haircut associated with poodles. This fashion originally had a practical use, the heavy growth around the head and midsection was to keep them warm in cold water when swimming to retrieve prey, their legs were shaved for to be most useful for swimming. At RedTeddy we take our work seriously, even cleanliness (but we still let them play in the dirt - adding to our work load and their fun). Twice daily cleanings of the puppy areas in our house and moment-to-moment turd removals are part of the routine. ( That's right, they are not house trained yet and won't be when you take them home. The good news is poodles are relatively easy to house train. Luckily for us, we can let our puppies play outside and with the great outdoors come the great outdoor parasites, such as fleas and ticks. Most pups have some kind or other common intestinal bugs from their parents. So, like most breeders, we de-worm and do preventive measures as needed so they will not invade your home as well. Our dogs and puppies already get so much freedom that they are happy at home, but we still have to be vigilant watching especially for the little ones whenever they are outdoors.

Assuring a healthy puppy takes commitment, time and effort.

RedTeddy is not a puppy mill. Puppy mills are bad news.Our pups and adult dogs are not confined. It is more difficult and less profitable to raise puppies properly than it is to be a puppy mill or a back yard breeder, breeding for numbers and profit rather than to help create a special, loving and happy animal. Our puppies play inside and out with both parents to enjoy them and help them learn to be good dogs. Keeping puppies inside all the time, often in small basement kennels or unheated out-buildings cuts down on costs and chores and allows the puppy mill owner to have more puppies and make more money while doing less work, at the expense of everyone else involved, especially you, if you get conned into buying a puppy from a puppy mill. Do your homework.Do your homework before you commit to purchasing a puppy. If you go to a store that specializes in puppy sales, ask to see pedigrees and health certificates for the parent dogs. All reputable breeders have pedigrees for all their dogs. they should show these to you so that you can be sure ther is no inbreeding, no parent + offspring or 1st cousin breeding). AKC requires dna from all stud dogs, so you should also see that, should there be a question as to what dog is the sire.Furthermore good breeders will have tested both parents for inheritable genetic diseases and made sure that their knees and hips are good enough for breeding and make these results available to potential owners. Next, ask where were the puppies are born and if it is possible to visit, and if both parents are on site? If not, ask why. Some pet stores and brokers say they represent good breeders who simply do not want to be bothered by 'the public.' They may say that they do not want to disturb their animals,but is it really that they prefer not to have their "operation" seen? Ask yourself, 'why, or why not?'And look elsewhere. The father's influence, and the influence of a psychologically healthy pack has long-term health benefits for puppies. Are either parents, mom and/or dad. available for you to meet? Your pup's temperament and most of his or her looks will be both influenced by the early life and inherited. If the parents are friendly, healthy looking, not overly hyper or aggressive, are patient with their puppies and don't attach strangers,​then the breeder is doing something right.

Do not purchase a puppy from a broker or dealer complicit inunethical treatment of animals.

Some "breeders" aren't breeders at all, but brokers contracting with out-of-state puppy mills. They buy and sell puppies posing as reputable human beings, but they are not. They pretend to own the mother, but really they have taking puppies awayfrom the mother long before it is healthy to do so, and keep the puppies, often in substandard housing, until they can be sold by a pet store, another puppy broker, or unsuspecting consumer. Don't let that person be you!ASK QUESTION! If you discover the puppy you are looking at was born out of state, or from a distant part of your state, run away and do not look back! Why? Puppies are easiest tosell when they are very young when they are cute and docile. The adorable 8-week-old puppy you are looking at was taken from its mother when it was less than 7 weeksold, sometimes by several weeks! This is unethical and unhealthy foreveryone: the puppy, the mother dog, and ultimately for you, the new owner.

Age matters. How old your dog is when you bring him or her home reflects how much time he or she has spent being nurtured by their parents and siblings. Early puppyhood, like early childhood, can have lifelong implications on health, wellbeing and temperament. Some dogs may always be timid, just as others naturally outgoing, but a good, loving, secure early life means your puppy will grow up to trust people andthe world as a wonderful place to exist in, not be fearful of.

Do not be impressed by exceedingly high or very low prices: We have seen puppies advertised online for more than twice what we charge, yet the pup's parents did not have genetic eye testing or hip displasia tests!Its not necessary to have expensive testing done on the parent dogs - there is no law that says breeders have to. To make matters worse, these costly tests are not infallible - bad things can still happen- yet they are all we have to lower the odds against sellingpuppies that go blind or become crippled.

An honorable breeder will do whatever it takes to assure their offspring are healthy in all predictable ways, and not balk at expensive testing when it may make a difference.

High prices can indicate a 'champion' line and a wonderful puppy, but they can just as easily mean a broker or two in the middle hoping to get their cut. Furthermore, some breeders breed for and charge extra for specific traits you may not be interested in. Ask the breeder what they consider a great dog and why, this should give you an idea if this is the right breeder and dog for you. Keep in mind that no breeder, not even RedTeddy, will tell you anything but stellar commendations about their dogs! Seeing is believing, make an appointment to meet the family and make up your own mind - maybe that trait is something you, too, want in your dog hence a good investment, just don't assume or go entirely by what the breeder tells you.

Price should never be the determining factor even if it is low: Be just as vigilant when considering a "cheap" puppy. Sometimes dog owners love their dog so much they want her to have a litter, this is fine when their dog is well-treated, the important tests have been done and you can see by the conformation she has good physical attributes and a nice temperament. Most fee based studs dogs have the testing in order to be studs, so problems ought not be on that end though you should check just to be sure. Paperwork on the stud should be freely available, as it is part of what the dam owner gets when he or she chooses to use a specific stud dog.

You don't have to go to a bigtime, high-priced breeder to get a great puppy, as long as you do your homework.

What is RedTeddy?

RedTeddy is located in the Hudson Valley in New York. Our dogs enjoy a country setting and plenty of outdoor time off-leash in our large yard and along the many local winding country lanes. RedTeddies are engaging, happy, smart, easily trained but never subservient, funny and friendly as well as physically fit, acrobatic and who easily and deeply attaches with their human family.

We start with the AKC breed best known for cleverness and trainability matched with a unique sense of humor: the Poodle. We add a family atmosphere with both parents on site. The puppies stay in a small den where their mother can come and go as she pleases, gradually enlarging their area eventually giving them plenty of outdoor time in the garden. The puppies are weaned naturally by their mother and begin a diet similar to that of our adult dogs including raw and cooked vegetables, chicken, turkey, venison, beef, local eggs free of additives or hormones, vitamins, minerals, Omega 3 fatty acids for brain and heart health.Click hereto see more videos and photos

Above, eighteen days old, and the puppies eyes are open!

Below, see what makes RedTeddy dogs and puppies special.

Just two days old!

Puppies are five days old!

Health of Parents: Tasha has patella, Optigen genetic and OFA hip testing. Leo, the father and the happy-fast boy in the video above, has OFA & Optigen and CERF.

At Left, just 1 day before the birth mommy Tasha and dad Leo go on a five mile romp in the country. While Leo hops about looking for rabbits, deer and wild turkeys, Tasha is slower, just happy to be out having fun. Both adore these daily outings and as it turns out regular exercise has benefits for Tasha's unborn puppies as well. Studies on human mothers suggest exercise during pregnancy may result in healthier offspring with lower heart rates, better oxygen absorption and glucose tolerance.

Why are RedTeddy puppies so much smarter than other puppies? Push play below to find out...!

Answer: Because they eat their broccoli!

Prenatal vitamens anyone?! The video above shows Tasha while she was pregnant with four puppies. Tasha and Leo (the daddy) both love broccoli and other fresh vegetables especially right out of, or in this case still in, the garden!

Who says daddy isn't important?!? We don't! Watch 'PlayTime With Pop' below to see why!Reputable breeders keep puppies with their mothers till at least eight weeks of age but only a few breeders have the father (aka the sire) onsite. Leo, our onsite daddy dog, loves his pups and helps raise and educate them as well. Here, his puppies are about four weeks old. Connie, the mommy, is taking a break while Leo roughhouses with his brood! Check out how much the puppies enjoy his attentions - and he theirs! Scientists studying small mammals found the presence of the father in the infant’s life contributes to better overall health in adulthood. The research indicates that healthy blood pressure and lower stress in adult animals raised with their fathers may be related to their fathers presence when they were babies! If this is true, then Redteddy pups are already above the curve, and they sure do enjoy “life with father!”

Now that these same puppies are six weeks old playing with daddy is their favorite activity! Life With Daddy continues in the clip below. If you like our puppy raising methods, To start the process of getting your own RedTeddy puppy fill in our Application Form
